Going to church, reading the bible, listening to Christian music will not advance your spiritual life. These activities may give you more understanding but until you are ready to lay down your life and take up your cross this leads nowhere.
What I am talking about is the sacrifice of self to advance the cause of Jesus Christ in the world. There is a destiny that God had for each of us that only we can personally discover. We can discover it only by detaching from the world and making ourselves available for the Holy Spirit. By detaching from the world--now you have time--the commodity that most Christians are not willing to give.
Jesus said, "Self-help is not help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, to finding yourself, your true self. (Matthew 16:25)
"God has planted eternity in the human heart." (Ecclesiastes 3:11)
"Anyone who lets himself be distracted from the work I plan for him is not fit for the Kingdom of God." (Luke 9:62)
"The most important thing is that I complete my mission, the work that the Lord Jesus gave me." (Acts 20:24)
"We have been sent to speak for Christ." (2 Corinthians 5:20)
"We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus, to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." (Ephesians 2:10)

Luke 6:22,23 - "Blessed are you when men shall hate you...for the Son of man's sake. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy for your reward is great in heaven..."
When persecution comes, when friends or family criticize you because you love Jesus, and aren't afraid to say so, rejoice! Shout hallelujah and leap for joy!
Paul said, "I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us (Romans 8:18)."
Get caught up in producing fruit through advancing in God's purpose for your life. Get caught up in the glorious hope that's ahead. For that hope is enough to make anyone -- under any circumstance -- leap for joy!
